Nice history, Harvey.
BTW, have you heard of these guys?
http://www-tech.mit.edu/V117/N30/anders.30c.html
"So say the MIT Extropians on their World Wide Web site
http://mit.edu/extropians/ and in the pamphlet that they sent out to freshmen a
few weeks ago. Under the self-applied label "reasoned discourse," the
Extropians' founders, Hanyoung Huang G, Jason P. Davis '98, and John R. Bender
'00, are out to stir up and promote good old-fashioned white suburban
prejudices."
